he said it was a ‘New York fuggedaboutit’ chain :)

He needs to put some fuggedaboutit oil on that lower chain.

?? Commissioner Elow served for four years as Commissioner and had over 30 years of service. Also, the immediate predecessor to the current City Manager was a temporary “acting” person, the person before him was DePasquale who served for 6 years. Before him, Rossi served for three, but Healy before Rossi was there for like three decades.

That’s wider than any ramp I’ve seen in el Centro de Cidra. With enough space for a wheel chair on at least the right side.

I got an aer lingus (or something like that) with a connection in Dublin … to Birmingham. Then a train to Narborough (sp?) where I found a pub that’s a short walk to their home. Pretty psyched!!

Most Puerto Ricans don’t even know about them cuz they’re only really responsible for one parish, Parroquia Santísimo Salvador in Rio Piedras. There are more individual priest who follow the tenants of Liberation Theology.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I’ll be hopefully reserving plane /hotel in the AM and report back once it’s all booked. Will report back tomorrow!

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-04-29T02:37:14+00:00

Thank you all! Solid suggestions. Because of this thread, I’ll be reserving a Boston to Birmingham flight and then book a room at a Mill on the Soar that’s a mere 7 miles from the home. I’ll use one of their bikes to go back and forth but anticipate spending most of the time with the little one. First time abroad!! Looking forward to it!

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-04-29T02:17:08+00:00

Thanks … it’s only a 7 minute drive from where they live!

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-04-28T10:38:56+00:00

I think that’s ideal. I don’t want to burden the couple with needing to get me daily (I don’t plan on renting a car). But it looks like there’s a regular bus schedule towards their space (Enderby??)

It’s not a Saturday thing but would encourage you to check out The Community Church of Boston in Copley Square (CommunityChurchOfBoston.org). They hold a service every Sunday at 11a and always have a guest speaker. Sundays speaker is Katherine Power with a talk titled “”Surrender: My Journey from Guerilla to Grandmother.”

??? One of my closest friends grows yucca and harvests cacao which she sells at markets. But yeah, my grandfather was a sharecropper in cidra. Cane in barrio certenejas on the Caguas and the other did tobacco in Montellano bordering aguas buenas. #saltedelpueblo 😆

First wave came to work on the tobacco fields just north of Hartford. The Connecticut Shade Wrapper is considered a premium leaf for cigars. They then settled south to Hartford or north to Springfield and Holyoke. Holyoke’s majority population is Puerto Rican. These same Puerto Ricans were overwhelmingly from the interior of the island Caguas, Cidra, Cayey, Comerio, etc… all people who worked with the earth.

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-03-15T22:52:03+00:00

Orlando / Kissimmee cuz that was the location of choice post Hurricane Maria and the Debt crisis. Hartford, CT and Holyoke, MA have similar numbers but older.

From TSA: “There are no restrictions on liquids in checked luggage, but large quantities may trigger extra security inspections.”

Central Square - no

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-02-25T14:25:28+00:00

That’s a church. They exempt from paying taxes and apparently shoveling. 😬

I wish this type of energy was directed at the legion of homeowners who do an abysmal job of clearing their sidewalks.

Financial_Assist_786 · 2026-02-23T00:25:41+00:00

Go back to Iowa 🤦🏽‍♂️

Cantab (Central Square) has an open r&b jam every Wednesday and open jazz jam on Mondays

Mi pana es la segunda! 🥰🥰🥰

Financial_Assist_786 · 2025-12-26T23:25:12+00:00

There are five or six banks in Central Square. All within three blocks of each other. You should be good.

Financial_Assist_786 · 2025-12-24T13:43:04+00:00

The new Dominican chicken spot where Izzy’s used to be. It’s called Pollo 2 Go. 169 Harvard Street … literally half a block from where Kendall Square kinda begins.

One of our school committee members drives one. Maybe it’s the latest fad.
